My new DS3 Dsport Plus THP 63 plate Sport red and black with black Bellone wheels

Car looks good
BUT
You really shouldn't need to use polish very often
Only to clean up the paint or remove faint scratches once or twice a year
Get some decent sealer and/or wax instead

[lfcrule1972]

Apologies if I've already asked Chris but what sealant/wax would you recommend me to use on my all black DS3 ? I'm not able to afford the £60 pots of wax at the present time though

[Chris_Blue]

Those £60 pots of wax seem to do the business
Carnuba is it. Smells good enough to eat too

[lfcrule1972]

Yeah I've seen a lot of folks rave about those Chris, just can't quite spring for that at the moment

[Chris_Blue]

Theres plenty other stuff almost as good- just don't last on the car as long

Collinite 915..... for the winter

[Petewete]

I have collinite 476, got it shortly after I got the DS, seems to the trick. Though I don't use it as often as I maybe should!
Pretty sure i got mine from cleanyourcar.co.uk

Collinite 915..... for the winter

Thanks I'll look this up

Seems you have to be careful with the application of it, I don't have a polisher (except my hands) so would this still be suitable ?

[robbo51]

Apply thinly by hand with a sponge applicator pad ........ a panel at a time and buff off immediately

Auto Finesse do a Carnuba wax 200 ml at £24.95 called Temptation for people new to wax I believe. Thinking of ordering some.

[robbo51]

You might be better waiting until Spring
I read somewhere that Temptation is not that durable as a winter LSP

[Chris_Blue]

So whats durable Robbo?
Done a good wax recently, but it were Meguiars- bout £25 a tin stuff

[robbo51]

Which Meguiars Wax?

[Chris_Blue]

Havent a clue- smells yummy

[robbo51]

It must have a label on it
